Rep Power: 1  |  Smart Phones easy to be hacked Next time you go for buying a smart and fancy phone, be cautious. The latest internet enabled cell phones are very weak when it comes to security. The experts of the cyber security have warned the smart phone users, especially the iPhones, Symbian phones, Blackberry and Windows Mobile. These can be easily hacked by an expert hacker easily with the help of little bit of coding. The Bluetooth is also being termed as a potential target. Nowadays people go in for mobile banking which is the most risky one when used on smart phones. The mischiefers can hack your phone and can control it remotely. The data of the phone, bank information, any personal SMSes all can be misused. In U.S. the cell phone users are already struggling to get away from this threat, so be careful and keep your cells protected with anti-virus. |

Rep Power: 1 | That's alarming. Did they also said anything on how to avoid these? Or are there any smart phone available in the market now that is not that vulnerable to hackers? I do banking most of the times through mobile. |
